October is starting out to be one interesting month. As for school, I’ve got so much that needs to be done! I’ve got forums to post, note cards to make, reviews to write, and mid terms to take (and that’s just for this week). College is tough, but when you’re on top of things, it becomes a whole lot easier!

This year I received the Dick and Joan Reynolds Scholarship. I received the scholarship after filling out a returning student scholarship application online through the IUE website. I was invited to attend a Scholarship Luncheon where I had the privilege to personally thank the donors by giving a speech. I have to admit, there was a ton of important people in the room! I was a little nervous, but I thought I played it off well. It was a GREAT experience and I felt important. My “thanks” could possibly give another donor the spirit to donate again; and then another student could benefit from their generosity!

And of course, you knew I was going to say it: VOLLEYBALL!! We are more than half way through our season. We’ve got 12 more play dates! 3 of those play dates are home games. GET TO ONE! If you can, come to all three (8th, 18th, and 26th) the last two games are themed PINK OUT and THROW BACK! Make sure you attend these games because they are Conference games too! ….And there will be t-shirts handed out!

Take a look at the video. I asked people why they come to the games; see what they had to say!
